Food For Thought: One of my old-time favorites…. I was walking down life’s highway a long time ago. One day I saw a sign that read, Heaven’s Grocery Store As I got a little closer the door came open wide, and when I came to myself, I was standing inside. I saw a host of Angels; they were standing everywhere. One handed me a blanket and said, “My child shop with care. “Everything a Christian needs is in that grocery store, and all you can’t carry, come back the next day for more. First, I got some Patience, Love was in the same row. Further down was Understanding, needed everywhere we go.
I got a box or two of Wisdom, a bag or two of Faith, I just couldn’t miss the Holy Spirit, it was all over the place. I stopped to get some Strength and Courage to help me run this race, but then my blanket was getting full, and I remembered I needed Grace. I didn’t forget Salvation, which like the others was free, so I tried to get enough of that to save both you and me. Then I started to the counter to pay my grocery bill, for I thought I had everything I needed to do my master’s will.
As I went up the aisle, I saw Prayer and had to put it in, for I knew when I stepped outside, I would run right into sin. Peace and Joy were plentiful, they were on the last shelf. Song and Praises were hanging near, so I just helped myself.
Then I said to the Angel, “How much do I owe?” The Angel smiled and said, “Just take them everywhere you go.” Again, I politely asked “How much do I really owe?’ The Angel smiled again and said, “My child, Jesus paid your bill a long time ago. As we celebrate this Christmas, make Jesus the utmost center of all your activities.
